I've been starting out for 14 years, so nobody knows the product like I do on the field. And that gives me a perspective that I feel like ads that dominates, but adds to a conversation when you're talking about players for decisions that directly impact the product on the field, and that was my thing the entire time.

"And on Saturday Sunny, very warm a high of 86 in Milwaukee right now. Rain is gone. At 74 degrees jobless Americans lose enhanced unemployment Today does that mean more of them will actually head into the workforce? Like Jackie is with us ABC News correspondent in Washington. I guess Let's start with that question to experts believe this means that some of those 10 million jobs available will become filled. As of right now, they're not seeing that, to be honest, Um, you're seeing a lot of states, uh, kind of dropped those federal unemployment aid because they're saying that their jobs just can't be shown in those states. But several economists, including up Peter McCrory and Daniel Silver of JP Morgan, they found zero correlation between job growth. And a state decision to drop the federal unemployment eight at least so far. And there's an economist in Columbia University, Calhoun, who found only minimal benefit in terms of that question. Kajaki with us from Washington. Thanks for the quick update. We appreciate it. You gotta take care. So I was in Austin last couple days. We went into some of the nicest restaurants in Texas and we had to wait at one Tex Mex place. Highly recommended hour and a half Wait. We finally get in there we get seated and half the tables are empty. And it ends up. There were three servers in the huge restaurant and they are running like crazy all over with a big sign hanging up in there that says Please be patient. If you're looking for a job, we have one for you. And it's like that everywhere. You know, I wonder where these employees where did these workers go? There was a couple places I stopped at over the weekend locally. They were closed because they had a shortage of workers. They were no longer open on a Sunday or on Monday is safe in my nominee Falls was closed yesterday because they didn't have enough workers show up to work. So on the day they were scheduled to be open. They shut the doors. I've stressed to a lot of people I know to be patient with the people who are actually there. It is not their fault, and I know we're all frustrated right now because things are slower. Things are not as efficient but the people who are actually they're working. Let's give them some credit for being there and showing up because they're the ones who are actually doing the things that are missing right now. That's a great idea. Let's take it a step further. If you live next door to somebody who's collecting enhanced unemployment living in their mom's basement. You see him going out to the mailbox. Give them a hard time. Get your butt into work unless I'm just kidding. You're so nice. You're looking at me like no, It's not just like tip these people that are working X Take care of that.

"Live from American family field. It is Brewer's re opening day. A couple of the other cool things that they're going to be having going on here is that it's the return to the racing sausages. Now, If you've been to a ball game since the start of the year, you know they had the racing sausages. At the very beginning. They had the racing sausages that they throw him up on the big screen, but they'd be running outside, and then they moved him inside, but the route they would run would be along the outfield wall. So they really weren't close to any of the fans. Well, okay, the regular races back, they're going to start down the left field line, and they will run in front of the dugout. So I think that's going to be again. One of the kind of cool things that are there. You've got retro weekend. It's kind of 80 was weekend. So what you're going to have is today Paul Molitor and Cecil Cooper, well known to the perhaps the most famous and successful brewers ever. They're going to be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Just a lot of fun stuff's going on. So if you're looking for an excuse to come out and play hookey like we say there are some good tickets available. Come on out. Get to the reopening game, cheer the Brewers onto win and here's the test. For the real Milwaukee sports fans. Because this is a big day. It's a big sports day on WTMJ. It's a big sports day for the entire city because you've got brewers opening day that's going on Now. First pitch is at 3 10. And then what do we have going on later on this evening? Oh yes, we've got to Milwaukee Box in the Atlanta Hawks down at Fiserv Forum. For the second game of the NBA playoffs. And if you look at the crowds that have been first of all attending the games, but also gathering in the Dear District, you know how jazzed this area is about the box. And don't let that first game lost, throw you off a little bit. I mean, it's a long series, and my experience is the best team typically wins in a seven game series and at least Don't think I'm looking at it through rose colored glasses. I think the bucks are the better team. So you know, going down chairman. Today's a big game. But here is going to be the real interesting dynamic and it's going to be the challenge for somebody in the print media or the electronic media. Find people that are coming to both of these games. You'll find the folks that are going to be coming out here Tailgating before going to opening day because first pitches 3 10, So you know you've got plenty of time to come out here to American family field, see the first pitch of the game, watch the ball game and then scoot down the Pfizer forum and go attend the box game. I'm sure that they're going to be people doing that. I'm sure even if people might not be going to both games, there might be people that are going to be paying attention to maybe go into the Brewers game here and then maybe going down to the dear district to hang out. But this is a great opportunity for sports fans to big events that are going to coming on back to back, But they're close enough in proximity. That you could attend both of them if you wanted to do it. How cool is that? Okay, Let me take a quick break. When we come back. I want to offer some comments on one or two of the significant And serious breaking news stories of the morning and then palm coming up After the top of the hour. We start with some of our opening day guests. It's 8 49. This is Jeff Wagner. Wtmj. Don't go anywhere. Jeff Wagner is back right after this.

"American family field. See how many times I can do the program today and not call it Miller Park, But you know where I am. This is Brewer's reopening day. It's the kind of the real thing now we had Brewers opening day before. Actually, I feel like I've been given a second chance at the baseball season this year because for the first time Probably in over 20 years. I was not at the original opening day. In the end of March, I was on vacation. I was in Florida. I listened to. You know, Bob, you curs call of the game when I was down in Florida, and of course, if you will remember. That was a big win for the Brewers. They were behind the Minnesota Twins came back to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with a two run double by Travis Shaw. And then they went on to win 6 to 5 in the 10th inning, which I mean, I think it's said that really set the template for what is a great Season. So far, I've been saying this for the last couple weeks since one of the things that's so cool about the reopening day. A lot of times, you know, when the season baseball season starts, everybody has high hopes hopes for their baseball team. But the reality is there's going to be some teams that are going to be competitive, and there's some teams that are not going to be competitive. One of the great things about having a reopening day at the end of June is we have a pretty good idea of where this brewers team is. And you know what that is. They are tied for first place right now, with the Chicago Cubs. They've been playing really, really good baseball and I understand it's a long baseball season and you go through a streak where you maybe lose a couple games, But all in all, the Brewers are in first place in the central Division. They are competing certainly for the playoffs. And it's a lot of excitement and it's going to be tremendous. The game coverage are the I think the broadcast starts around 2 30, but we have a lot of stuff between now and then. Here is kind of a little bit of a game plan. We're going to be talking about some, you know, current event issues but a lot of emphasis on baseball and we have a bunch of great guests lined up. Um, again are scheduled guests during the nine o'clock hour We'll be talking to Lane Grendel, Brewers broadcaster at 10 O'clock and it started at 10 O'clock hour were scheduled to talk to Brent suitor who, of course, Star Brewers relief pitcher, spot starter and Harvard graduate and a really really interesting guy at the start of the 11 o'clock hour, were scheduled to talk to Brandon Woodruff. And then at 11 35 were scheduled to talk to Kolten Wong, who I think has just been a tremendous edition to the Brewers this year when the Brewers ended up signing him. I was so thrilled because I remember year after year just watching him flat out. Where out where us out when he played for ST Louis, and it's so great to have him playing for the Brewers. He's supposed to join me at 11 35. So we've got all that coming up. We'll try to give you a little bit of a flavor of what is going on at Miller Park as at Miller Park there, I go at American family Field. As I said a couple minutes ago. It's empty right now. But you know, in just a few hours, things are going to be hopping. Now. Technically, the parking lots do not open till right around one o'clock, although Ricks Schlessinger has indicated that if people start lining up You don't want to cause traffic congestion so they might open them up a little bit earlier, but regardless of whether it's one o'clock or Little bit earlier. There's going to be 35,000 plus people out here during the course of the day, getting ready to enjoy a reopening day baseball experience. There are still some good tickets available. It is not a complete sell out yet, but if you decide you want to come out here, great opportunity to do it. They've got all sorts of other special things going on, including the thing that really caught my attention. $1 hot dogs. I mean, dollar hot dogs thanks to American family can't go wrong with that, but it's going to be a great day. We're going to try to bring you some flavor of that. We're going to take a walk down Memory lane we're going to be talking to players will be talking to broadcasters were going to be telling stories, and we're going to be continuing to keep you updated on the events of the day. Lots of stuff going on. Of course, the big story from the world of criminal justice is Derek Chauvin up in Minnesota. He gets sentenced this afternoon. I've got some thoughts on the sentencing what people should and should not expect. And the latest on this horrific thing that happened down in Florida. Lots of people just raising this question about in in the United States of America. How can a 12 story building collapsed? We're talking about all that mixed around our opening day coverage. It's exciting. I'm glad to have you with us, and we're back to kick it off in just a minute. This is Jeff Wagner WTMJ. Or Jeff Wagner right after this.

I'm going in everywhere because I'm vaccinated and I wear that is a badge of honor. But After the CDC made their announcement the other day. A couple of big change just decided. You know what?

We're gonna make people produce papers. You know how your papers Remember the papers? Well, then you can't come in without a mask and imagine if you're working a service industry job. Where?

That's what I'm trying to say. Ben Injure considered the number 23 prospect in the Brewers organization originally 1/10 round pick and 2017 was put together a pretty solid career at the University of Virginia. He did not. He was. He was part of the player pool last year with the Brewers. He was in major league spring train this year, his last professional baseball in terms of actual professional baseball games that were played back in 2019 when he was pitching at double Able Oxy. That year, he went up five and seven with a 3.44 e R. A And now he is set to make his major league debut today for the Brewers, and it's gonna be it's gonna be fun to see these air. Always. I always enjoy talking to former baseball players and asking them questions about Their major league debut because they remember every moment of that day. I promise you 10 years from now, 15 years from now, whatever Bessinger is doing at this very moment, he is going to remember it for the for the rest of his life, So he's going to get this start today for the Brewers. Eyes never pitched above double. Lay was officially recalled this past Thursday from the alternate training site spent all last season at the alternate training site after he was placed onto the 60 Man player pull and again was 1/10 round Pick in Thebes 2017 1st Year player draft out of the University of Virginia's a cool moment for him today, as far as the starting lineup goes. For the Brewers. And if you're just now tuning in Jacob Nottingham was re acquired from the Seattle Mariners after he'd been designated by the Brewers. He recently got designated by the Mariners. And now for cash considerations. They were able to get him back to the starting line up. It looks like this. Bolton walks on a lead off today. He's playing at second base.

They already have a three game series sweep of the San Diego Padres, and now they're looking for a four game series sweep of the Dodgers. I think it's pretty easy to say that Those are two of them, even if they just take three or four from the Dodgers. And don't win today that sweep of the Padres, the Syrians against the Dodgers. This is some of the best performances in Syria's by any team in baseball to start the year that is going to do it for this edition of Brewers Warm up.

"You could do so We're talking baseball. We're talking baseball for an hour. Maybe, um, maybe you just need To take your mind off. Other things I am here for you will pretend it's the middle of summer and it's 75 degrees outside. It's still summer being more like 85 degrees, but you get the idea. And that all is well in the world. We hope that's going to happen. Have you got into Greg? Let me ask you this. Have you gotten into the, um the routine yet? Referring to the ballpark is American family field. Oh, no, I haven't. And I think that's because the sign is still up. So it's like, not really real, so I don't know. I think once the sign goes up When I drive past it every day things like Oh, there it is. Yeah. I don't drive by the ballpark, American family field that often but I drove by it. Probably a cup. Maybe January. 3rd January 4th somewhere in there. And I was I didn't know if the sign was still going to be up or not. And I was very curious to see that indeed. Yes, it is. It is still up. You know, What'll be interesting is like the area of limbo where that Miller Park on the concourse right there right above the main entrance. And what looks out on the highway once that that, like weird limbo area where that is off of the building. That's where that's gonna be an interesting like I don't know. Week two weeks, maybe. Yeah, on the road out there because the road out there is Miller Parkway and I know they petitioned to get the name of the road changed and I don't The last I heard. I felt like that petition might have been denied. I always thought it would make sense to just rename it. Miller Parkway. It's Miller Parkway. Right now. Three words. Just change it to Miller Parkway got Miller Valley right down there. I mean, you're kind of in that area. It's a Miller obviously holds a ah, very large role in our in our city's history. So on then, if you mail something to somebody on Miller Park way, I'm pretty sure the Postal Service will have no problem getting it to Miller Parkway. So I just think that would be the easy answer. Just simply get rid of the space. Between park and way and you go from there. That would be my my motivation. So I'm trying to look up. Updated like it's so there's a bunch of of Oh, here we go keep Miller Park. Oh, that's the home, Okay? Never mind. I'm looking all these These these petitions to change to keep Miller Parkway named that way, and I want to see how many signatures has gotten So I'm on that. Doug. Doug. Have you heard a better idea than the changing it just to Miller Parkway? Honestly, I really like that idea because it doesn't like it doesn't change names. That just does. Okay. This isn't right. Do not read a Miller Parkway has 38 39 signatures. $39 Wait a minute. What? There's no way This is climbing up as I'm clicking on this. Is this our people? Really this Adama, and they're looking it up right now is they're listening to us. 46 46 47 I think of being bamboozled. Hold on. I'm at the edge of my seat right now. No, I'm like showing that I'm trying to kind of deflecting a little bit because this is gonna reload it to see if it goes back down. Whatever. Okay, First of all, it's only asking for 100 signatures. This is not legit. No way. I got to find something that Is actually the Miller part way to Green Day Miller Parkway see, But this story takes me to renaming the ballpark or keeping the ballpark Miller Park, which, as we know, is not going to be that way. So try to find the roles that threshold yet past the threshold, it is American family field now. And I have a I say it is often as I can just I've been doing this for a while and I'm so that's gonna be a challenge from the beginning, just saying American family field, and that's what it is. I know there's people out there who are going to refer to it as the former name, but it is American family field and but from my perspective, you just from a financial for a financial standpoint. The Miller folks. We're not going to spend the money on the naming rights anymore. And the Brewers were able to work with another Wisconsin based company to be able to get the naming rights naming rights of the ballpark. I say this all the time about the ticket sales and the parking and the beers that are sold inside of the ball park. Look, we're in a small market and it's not a It's not a make excuse sort of thing. The Brewers absolutely have the opportunity to to spend money and they have showed that and they have They've given players big contracts, but it is they don't have the big time TV deal that teams in New York the teams in Chicago, the teams in Los Angeles have and you gotta You have to find a way to create revenue anywhere that it can come in. And if the great folks of Miller and their current financial situations sit there and say You know, this just isn't something that we can do anymore. Going and finding another Wisconsin company that does have the ability to do it where you can continue to keep that revenue source there that that's an important thing, and it impacts. What's going to happen on the field? So I am I am totally comfortable with American family field I appreciate and when when it happened on the new year, there was There are photos that were put out with people from, uh, from the Miller side for the Americans over everybody, and they were Celebrating together, and Miller obviously, still, ah, huge part of Brewers baseball. They just don't have the naming rights on the ballpark anymore. So get used to saying it. American family feel I will pay off a we're gonna talk about in the last segment. When are we going to potentially see moves is starting to get made with the brewers and really across all of Major League baseball will discuss that next spring is likely. More Brewers weekly coming up on WTMJ. Here's a penny for your thoughts.

"He'd find 5616161. It's the accident. Morgan's talking tax line one of the textures. This is a big picture comment, but I get where he's coming from Jeff from Ingleside, Illinois. Loser, the American people, Republicans and Democrats fighting with each other. Instead of doing their jobs and working for the country. Look at what happened with the stimulus bill. Congress decided to take three months off form or toe work on election stuff running for office if you're a senator, or congressman or congresswoman, Not doing the work that many people Many elected officials said, needed to be done, which was get another stimulus bill money into the hands of people who needed it People out of work people feeling the pinch financially from the pandemic. Instead, they played around in politics. That's the danger of the hyper partisan world we live in. Now. That's why I tell Republican friends of mine. You could get all wound up in a knot over this election. The bottom line is Joe Biden. Donald Trump. Your life is going to go on. You're probably gonna have the same job afterward. You're still gonna be in the same family situation. Same friends driving the same car. Not much is gonna change. Thankfully, this is this is something I give the credit The president credit for. We have a Supreme court that I think Is not a reactionary, but they delivered of body that says We're not going to rush to make judgments, and anybody who wants to China change the direction of the U. S. Supreme Court. That's not a good thing in my mind. Let's have people that are thoughtful, intelligent and smart. Yes, it's conservative. But as we've seen not only Wisconsin but the U. S Supreme Court level Even conservatives when presented with fax, and I'm talking about the election stuff here right now. Make the right call. The weight. It's even though they were appointed. In the case of the U. S. Supreme Court by this president they were able to weigh Information and make the right decision that should encourage people that we have a court and courts that are interested in doing the right thing for the American public, not reactionary. Not trying to make law on the courts, but but taking a slower, more delivered of pace to make sure that the country's moving in the right direction bit of a long winded response to that, But it's Zumbi that matters to people. The bottom line is your life will go on. We tend to have this conversation on social media last night, we tend to get so. Emotional and irrational when it comes to politics to the point that we are abandoned logic in the state, and that's the frustrating thing for me, one of the other ones I had for for losers. Woz. And this is this is gonna make some people mad. It's irritating to me. That's not gonna be Miller Park anymore. It just irritates me. Now I understand how that stuff works. I'm not gonna hate American families a great company and they put their money where their mouth is. Great thing. I'm gonna miss Miller Park. Let's put it that way. And it's American family field. As of a couple days ago, we accepted, I accepted. But for me, boy, that's a That's an opportunity that it just changes the nature of our community in the way that I thought Miller Park would always be there, and it's not that that's just something I put on the list. Well, will you call it American family or use Because I've said I was watching. I forget which channel it was, but they were doing a poll after this came out, and people were adamant. No, I'm keeping it Sma Miller Park to me. That's all there is to it. So are you going to change? I mean, we didn't have problems going from the Bradley Center to the fighter forum. So why would we have all what this is? Just because there was a new building. Yeah, probably. And you know what? I still I still occasion. I've done this a couple times on the show called the County Stadium. That shows you how old I am one and two. How you hang out the titles. I think it Z something that will get used to Probably call it Miller Park for a long time. But it doesn't mean I'm not going to call them American family field or AM FAM field, and some people think that's gonna be shortened to. I'm sure that I'll do that one called upon to talk about the the the stadium on the show because it's the right thing to do. They anted up the money. Great company, Great Wisconsin company. I have no problem with that. I accept that reality. Let's do this quick break. We got a couple callers lined up lots of texts, winners and losers for 2020. You're welcome to join the conversation. As always, We'll do that after the break right here in Wtmj, don't go anywhere. Stephen Carol return shortly on WTMJ. She's on the.
